Heat Exchanging Insert And Method For Fabricating Same
US Patent:
8162040, Apr 24, 2012
Filed:
Mar 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/372683
Inventors:
Thomas D. Briselden - North East PA, US
Assignee:
Spinworks, LLC - North East PA
International Classification:
F28D 7/12, F28F 13/12
US Classification:
165142, 1651091, 165156, 165905
Abstract:
A heated energy system includes an integral ceramic insert heat exchanger having an integral ceramic construction and an outer ceramic wall that is helical in shape. When the heat exchanger is positioned within a surrounding fluid path enclosure, the outer ceramic wall forms, with the enclosure, at least one spiral path for flowing products of energy generation. No more than one insert body has an outer wall that is helical in shape that is present along the first length of the surrounding fluid path enclosure. The outer ceramic wall receives heat energy when the products of energy generation flow through the fluid path. A method for fabricating integral ceramic insert heat exchangers includes using a tool having a silicon carbide channel and a cavity channel, the silicon carbide channel extending at least partially outside the cavity channel in directions defined by a rotational plane of the tool.

Radiant Heat Transfer System
US Patent:
2009027, Nov 12, 2009
Filed:
Mar 10, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/401371
Inventors:
Thomas D. Briselden - North East PA, US
International Classification:
F24H 3/00
US Classification:
237 76, 432209
Abstract:
A radiant heat transfer system has one or more radiant elements inserted in a radiant source. Radiant elements convert the combustion products from burning fuel into radiant energy. A radiant element may be formed from one or more ceramics and may be used in radiant sources, such as radiant tubes, immersion tubes, heat exchanger tubes, boiler walls, and other radiant heat applications. Each radiant element has a core section defining a longitudinal cavity enabling the insertion of a positioning mechanism. Each radiant element may have one or more normal and/or tangential wings attached to the exterior of the core section. Each radiant element may produce a more laminar or less turbulent flow of combustion products within the radiant source.

International Classification:
B05D 1/06
US Classification:
427243
Abstract:
The disclosed method relates to manufacture of a near net-shaped products such as ceramic containing products such as ceramic-metal composites. The method entails forming a mixture of a build material and a binder and depositing that mixture onto a surface to produce a layer of the mixture. An activator fluid then is applied to at least one selected region of the layer to bond the binder to the build material to yield a shaped pattern. These steps may be repeated to produce a porous whitebody that is heat treated to yield a porous greenbody preform having a porosity of about 30% to about 70%. The greenbody then is impregnated with a molten material such as molten metal. Where the build material is SiC, the molten metal employed is Si to generate a SiC—Si composite.
